Customer Review: WOW! Garmin Refurbs rock!
Summary: 5 Stars
The nuvi 670 was purchased thru Amazon and sold by one of their contractors. It is a factory refurbished model 670 with North American and European maps, both the 2009 issues that I paid about $210. Although it's "last years" model the 670 has longer battery life and most all the features of the current nuvi 775 which list at close to a grand! The refurb unit came with all the "in the box" goodies that a new one has, and cosmetically could not be told from new.
This product worked flawlessly right out of the box....it's loaded with Bluetooth, FM tranmitter, picture viewer, and mp3 play in addition to the terrific GPS features.
The only minor negative is that the FM transmitter on the U.S. model 670 has rather low power, but once a satisfactory FM channel is found with a relatively close car antenna it worked great. I automatically pauses the MP3 when the GPS wants to talk and likewise when the phone rings with bluetooth.
Overall a terrific buying experience.
Customer Review: Love it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Nuvi 670 is extremely user friendly and start-up is quick/easy. For the most part the maps are excellent and it is feature rich - specific address, city only, intersections, favorites, home. In very rural areas, you do need some idea of where you are going. My setup was to "fastest route" and sometimes - when out in the those areas - that meant being told to turn onto a farm road - gravel, dirt and all. The recalculation time is very quick and the GPS is sensitive to very short distances - maybe 200 feet or less. When I failed to turn or made a mistake, it quickly got me going in the right direction. We are just coming off of a 2500 mile road trip with the Nuvi - it was wonderful. Loved it and it saved so much time and gas in determining the best routes plus finding gas stations, ATMs, hotels, etc. If you live in California, you will need to order the friction mount since CA doesn't allow the window suction mount which comes with the Nuvi. Friction mount works very well.Customer Review: Garmin Nuvi 670
Summary: 5 Stars
Our family makes several trips to unfamiliar areas every year; and, while there, we like to travel by car. A relative bought a Garmin GPS for such purposes and found that it was very beneficial, even in her own city. After much research we decided upon the Garmin Nuvi 670, since it had the European feature. We used it while in the Yellowstone National Park area and were sold on this system. Later we found that it worked very well as we traveled to various cities in Germany. Our German friends decided that they wanted to purchase this same system for their travels in Europe, Canada, and the USA. Therefore, we left our GPS with them and later purchased this same item when we returned to the USA.
We enjoyed the various features of the Garmin Nuvi 670. Also, we purchased the Portable Friction Dashboard Mount and found that it was a great accessory for our GPS. All of our purchases were made via Amazon, and we were very pleased with their prices and service.
Customer Review: A Lot for the Money
Summary: 4 Stars
Since the 670 is a discontinued model the price reduction on Amazon was tremendous. For less than $320 you get the following features
- Spoken street names (although they often indistinguishable via computerized voices)
- Bluetooth cell phone reception (with a bluetooth phone which works very well)
- FM traffic monitor (of limited usefulness)
- US/Canada & European maps (relative up to date; for the latest maps you get one updated map free and the other must be purchased)
- Car & a separate home recharger
- Front Window mount
- Close to 6 million POI's
- Car/Truck/Motorcylce/Walking modes
- One way point before end destination
- Old style flip antenna (instead of built in)
- Very bright screen
- Speaker could be louder

I took the unit on a recent trip and it was at least 90% accurate with recent (within the year) roads and freeways often not given. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Garmin Nuvi 670
Summary: 4 Stars
I spent a lot of time looking at different brands and decided the 670 had the most features and flexibility for the money. I previously had a Magellan and I like the Nuvi better. The screen is large and bright. The voice is clear and the mounting device is much better than the Magellan. The best feature is the ability and ease of using the points of interest. We just drove cross country and relied on the Nuvi for motels, restaurants, gas and many points of interest for sight seeing. I wish it showed the elevation and displayed how much time to the destination in lieu of what time you are to arrive; that was a bit confusing as we went through several time zone changes. However, that is just a nit pic. I also think Garmin should be able to equip these devices with an atomic clock similar to a cell phone so the time zones change automatically. We had to rely on the cell phone for the correct time when we were in the areas of question and then reset the Nuvi.
